In 2010, the estimated number of new cases of prostate cancer worldwide was approximately 899,000. This made prostate cancer the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men globally. The incidence rates varied significantly by region, with higher rates observed in developed countries, likely due to more widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, which detects the cancer at earlier stages.

Prostate cancer incidence rates in 2010 were particularly high in regions with higher Human Development Index (HDI) scores, reflecting better healthcare infrastructure and more comprehensive cancer screening programs. Conversely, lower rates were reported in less developed regions, where access to healthcare services and cancer detection programs was more limited.
